Amber, 30, was pictured with a bruised face as part of her court claim.

Now the judge has granted the temporary restraining order, requiring Johnny to stay 100 yards away from Amber until a court hearing in June.

The actress was also successful in her petition to live in the family home, although her claim for the dogs was rejected as, according to TMZ, the judge said there was: "An insufficient showing to protect the pet dog."

The actress - who filed for divorce earlier this week citing irreconcilable differences - is said to have gone to a court with her lawyer to make the claim.

TMZ says that Amber is claiming Depp - who was represented by his lawyer - hit her in the face on Saturday night with an iPhone before police were called.

It is said she refused to give a statement to police, who have given her a number to call if she changes her mind.

The website also notes that sources close to Depp are refuting the report, with some noting that she has posted on Instagram since the alleged incident with no signs of injury.

Amber, 30, filed for divorce from the Hollywood star, 52, on Monday morning, with the official separation date given as the day before.

The TMZ report adds that Amber claims Depp had been violent before during their marriage - including an occasion that was captured on video.

Amber filed for divorce just three days after the death of Depp's beloved mother Betty Sue Palmer, and 15 months after the couple tied the knot.

Depp has been approached for comment on these claims but has yet to respond, but put out a statement on the split earlier today.

His representative said in a statement: "Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life.

"Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly."

It is said things came to a head last month shortly after they were forced to appear in an embarrassing apology video, after illegally bringing their dogs into Australia, which made them a global laughing stock.

“Johnny felt humiliated by the whole ordeal and believes Amber made him look like a fool," a source told the paper.

“It just doesn’t fit with his serious image and he hated being mocked. The dogs are Amber’s so she should really have done the thorough checks.”
